Copy this code into your text editor, and save it as
"1.html". Then open it with your browser. It should look
something like this:

Let's look at what all this means:

<html>

This is the opening HTML tag. This tells the browser that it
should be displaying HTML. (There are other tags, for other types of
pages, that browsers understand, but they aren't relevant to this
tutorial). The opening HTML tag signals the browser that the HTML for
this page is starting.

Let's skip ahead for a moment, and look at the last line:

</html>

This is the closing HTML tag. This indicates that the HTML for
this page has ended. Everything on your HTML page should be between
these two tags.

Moving on:

<h1>Simple HTML Page</h1>

This is a header tag. It is used to define titles or headers
for your page, or for sections of the page. There are a few different
sizes of headers you can use - we will get into that a bit later.

Notice that there is both an opening and a closing tag for the header.
The look, or styling, of the header is applied to everything
between the opening and closing tags. So the text between <h1>
and </h1> would be considered the header.

Now consider the next section:

<p>This is a simple HTML page</p>

In this case, the <p> defines a paragraph. Just as with
the header tags, there is an opening and closing paragraph tag. The text
between them constitutes the paragraph.
